Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, !

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:
 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Learn about some of the Wikipedia landmarks by trying our Wikipedia scavenger hunt!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Wikipedia has a vibrant community of editors. The village pump is a great place to see the goings on.
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!


 * Five pillars
 * Policy trifecta
 * Brilliant prose
 * Be bold in updating pages
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: &#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;&#x7e;.

Best of luck, and have fun! – ClockworkSoul 02:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Fernetear
Fernetear has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this term might not be significant enough for an article. Please review Avoid neologisms for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so. Remember, however, that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so articles about the meanings and usages of terms are not appropriate either.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may be sent to Articles for deletion for consensus.

 * Hello NickleShoe, it has come to my attention that you posted a complaint on the topic of Fernetear. I myself love Wikipedia and spend hours learning stuff. Recently I have posted the post of Fernetear and saw that the validity of the word's existence. The problem is that this word is known solely in the town of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, hence, not very many people know about it. It is, however, a real word in this part of the world and would like to teach it to the millions of Wiki users out there, thanx —This unsigned comment was added by Klaw (talk • contribs).
 * Hi! It helps if you sign your posts with ~, so I can find who I'm talking to.


 * Thanks for the message. I actually made no complaint.  You'll see from the page history  that User:LaurenMcMillan proposed the article for deletion.  Seeing that, I thought you'd want to know, and thought it would be helpful if you knew where to read the relevant Wikipedia policy.


 * Although I'm sure you meant well in posting the article, even if the word is real, it still has to be notable and verifiable. Make sure you've read the important policy at WP:V.  As an encyclopedia, we have to take this seriously, so that even if you can vouch for it, we need some published sources somewhere.  Wikipedia isn't the place to spread the word about something, but instead to record it afterward.

I believe I have been unfairly blocked. I don't know how to contact my blocker, Jcw69.

My IP address appears to be blocked, when I try to edit a page a new "you are blocked" page appears and the message that follows appears. This is not an open proxy or a zombie computer and I don't know why I have been blocked.:

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Jcw69 for the following reason (see our blocking policy): This IP address has been blocked because it is believed to be an open proxy or zombie computer. To prevent abuse, editing from these proxies is currently prohibited. For more information about open proxies and what you can do, please see the WikiProject on open proxies. See also: block list | block log | related IP addresses

Your IP address is 200.58.160.149.


 * It appears you are using an open proxy or a former open proxy. We don't allow that on Wikipedia as it is too easy to abuse. I will ask them to run another open proxy check but if you are using an open proxy, you will be unable to edit. Sasquatch t|c 20:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
